“…Recently, biologically active benzothiazepines with important residues at the C-7 position have been reported as tumor necrosis factor R converting enzyme (TACE) inhibitors, showing selective and potent activities against porcine TACE. 14 Although there have been a number of library syntheses of benzodiazepines since Ellman's group developed a solidphase synthesis of 1,4-benzodiazepines in the early 1990s, 15 there have been few publications of solid-phase synthesis of tetrahydro-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones, 16,17 and most benzodiazepine libraries have limited diversity on the benzene ring, since they use the benzene moiety to link to the resin or they introduced the benzene moiety in building blocks such as anthranilic acids to give diversity. 18 Here, we report a successful parallel solid-phase synthesis of a tetrahydrobenzo[e] [1,4]diazepin-2-one library with three points of diversity, including the C-7 position, with alkoxy derivatizations, as β-turn peptidomimetics.…”
